General And Group Accounts; Adding A New User And Setting Usage Limits - Xerox ColorQube 8700 System Administrator Manual

General and Group Accounts

You can create a group account to track and limit the number of copies, prints, scans, and faxes for a
group of users. The number of copies, prints, scans, and faxes of each user are tracked against the user
account and the group account. You can limit the usage for each user.
You can create a general account to track the total usage for a group of users. The number of copies,
prints, scans, and faxes of each user are not tracked against the user account. The usage is only tracked
against the general account. You cannot specify usage limits for a general account.
If a user is associated with a group account and a general account, they can access the printer using the
accounting code for either account. Individual copies, prints, scans, and faxes, are tracked against the
user and group accounts if the user accesses the printer using the group account. If the user accesses the
printer using a general account, the usage is only tracked against the general account and not the user
account.
